Question

I want to be able to instantiate a JavaScript object as follows:

var c = new MyConfig({
    'server': 'servername',
    'kfc': true,
    'code': true,
    'test': true
});

Something like that. I want the individual attributes to be available with something like:

c.getConfig('nfc'); which should return true / false etc.

I get confused on little stuff like should I use literal or constructor function.

Can someone assist?

You don’t really need a special constructor; an object is perfectly suited to that.

var c = {
    server: 'servername',
    kfc: true,
    code: true,
    test: true
};

And to access a property, it’s as simple as c.kfc, or c['kfc'] if you need to access the property dynamically.
